Kanye West may not be able to enter the 2020 presidential ballot in most states at this point in the campaign cycle, but you already know what the man said: he can’t tell you anything. Someone filed an application for Kanye 2020 with the Federal Election Commission on July 15, a necessary step for a presidential campaign. That doesn’t mean Kanye 2020 is happening, of course, just that some money has been spent on behalf of Kanye 2020. The presentation appears to have been made by someone named Andre Bodiford, who is serving as record keeper and treasurer. What happened to “no man should have all that power”? It’s unclear who Bodiford is, though a Philadelphia-based CPA and consultant named Andre Bodiford lists the job as a freelance consultant at a company called Bodiford / West since August 2018 on his LinkedIn profile.
In this filing, Bodiford lists an address in Cody, Wyoming that West would have purchased in October to be the main office for his company Psalm Cody Commercial, according to Cody. Business. West’s famous Wyoming Ranch is just outside Cody. The presentation also includes an email at kanye2020.org, a website that is currently not working. The indicated phone number did not return a call. Talk about a ghost town.
